Description:

Many textbooks on differential equations are written to be interesting to the teacher rather than the student.Introduction to Differential Equations with Dynamical Systemsis different. This concise and up-to-date textbook addresses the challenges that undergraduate mathematics, engineering, and science students experience during a first course on differential equations. And, while covering all the standard parts of the subject, the book emphasizes linear constant coefficient equations and applications, including the topics essential to engineering students. Stephen Campbell and Richard Haberman--using carefully worded derivations, elementary explanations, examples, exercises, and figures…
